Art. 7. It is earnestly enjoined on students to guard against the 
habit of frequenting taverns, or any other place of common resort; 
and be particularly careful to avoid all riotous or disorderly com- 
pany; and it shall be the duty of the Faculty to pursue that course, 
which, in their judgment, is best calculated to restrain such irreg- 
ularities. 

Art. 8. Every student shall be careful to comply with the re- 
quisitions of his instructors, and to treat them with peculiar respect. 

Art. 9. When any student shall refuse to appear before the Fac- 
ulty, or before a single Professor or Tutor, when summoned, he 
shall be, ipso facto, dismissed. 

Art. 10. Any student, who shall, while absent from College, 
commit such immoralities, as would, if committed at College, have 
merited dismission, may be refused the privilege of returning. 

Art. 11. Students who remain at College during vacations, 
shall be subject to all the laws of orderly conduct.

CHAP. IX.—PUNISHMENTS. 


Art. 1. The punishments of this institution shall be wholly of 
a moral character, and addressed to the sense of duty and the prin- 
ciples of honor and of shame. © 

Art. 2. They shall be as follows: Private admonition by an offi- 
cer of College; admonition before the Faculty; dismission and ex- 
pulsion; which last shall only be inflicted by a Board of Trustees. 


CHAP. X.—MISCELLANEOUS REGULATIONS. 


Art. 1. When a majority of the Faculty shall think, from the 
general deportment of a student, (either as it regards his habits of 
application or his moral conduct,) that his longer continuance at 
College will be disadvantageous to the institution, it shall be their 
duty to dismiss him privately, and to comniunicate the cause of 
said dismission to his parent or guardian. 


19 


_ Art. 2. At the close of each session, it shall be the duty of the

College buildings or their vicinity, fire arms, swords, dirks or oth- 
er deadly weapons. 

Art. 4. Every student shall be held responsible for the quietness 
and good order of his room. 

Art. 5. Whereas backgammon, chess, and other games tend to 
produce idle habits, and are otherwise inconsistent with good or- 
der in College; therefore, no student shall be permitted to play at 
these or any other games; nor shall it be lawful to have the imple- 
ments for such amusements in the College. 

Art. 6. No student shall be permitted to leave the premises of 
College, without obtaining special leave from an officer.

hours allinterchange of visits, unless by special permission, is pro- 
hibited. 

Art. 8. Students shall not be permitted to visit circuses, or any 
other exhibitions of a demoralizing character. 


CHAP. XI.—EXPENSES. 


For the session of five months, beginning seven weeks after the 
third Wednesday in June, and ending the 20th of December, the 
expenses (independent of wood, candles, bedding é&c.) are as fol- 


lows, viz:— 
Board $8 per month - - - $40 00 
Tuition and Deposit Fee - - 20 00 


Total - - - $60 00 


For the remaining session, beginning the third Wednesday in 
January, and ending the third Wednesday in June, the expenses 


20 


are the same. Making the expenses of the whole yearly term as 
follows:— 


Board : =, : * 2 o@ $80 00 
Tuition and Deposit Fee = < 40 00 
Total $120 00 


CONTINGENT EXPENSES. 


Bedding and washing for 10 months, at 


$2 per month, - - - - $20 00 
Wood (half the quantity necessary to fur- 

nish one room,)- - - - 5 00 

Lights (do do do) 6 00 
Incidental expenses, exclusive of pocket 

money, - - - - - 15 00 

$46 00 

Amount for Board and Tuition, 120 00 


Total expense for 10 months, (exclusive 
of pocket money,) - - - $166 00 


Nore.—In the item of incidental expenses, we have included some ar- 
ticles of furniture which a student first entering College must furnish 
himself with, and also his text books. The sum assigned for this pur- 
pose will not perhaps be sufficient the first session. We have given what 
we suppose to be the average annually throughout the Collegiate course. 
In respect to pocket money, the amount is left entirely to the discretion 
of the parent or guardian. More, however, than is necessary to meet the 
wants of a student will prove injurious. 


PREPARATORY DEPARTMENT. 


In order to produce as far as possible a uniformity in the system 
of instruction, and the better to prepare young men for the higher 
studies of College, there has been connected with the Institution _ 
a Preparatory Department, under the tuition of a sufficient number — 
of qualified instructors. 


21 


A separate building is appropriated to the purposes of this school, 
remote from the other buildings of College. 

The school itself has recently been re-organized under the fol- 
lowing resolutions of the Board of Trustees: 

1. That the general superintendance of this school be commit- 
ted to the Professor of Ancient Languages with the title of Rector, 
and its immediate government to the Principal thereof, who shall 
be aided in the discharge. of his duties by an assistant Teacher or 
‘Teachers, when necessary. | 

2. That the President of the College shall, when applied to; 
give his advice upon any matter relating to the interests of the 
school. 

3. That the Rector and Teachers be required to manage the 
school by making and enforcing all necessary regulations in subor- 
dination to the acts of the board; and that they report annually to 
the Board the state of the school. 

4. That it shall be the duty of the Rector to spend one hour dai- 
ly in the school, to hear in Latin or Greek the highest class pre- 
paring for College, and also to hear occasionally any other class he 
may wish. 

5. That the students of this school be required to attend at the 
Preparatory School House at the ringing of the College bell for 
morning prayers, and that the school be kept at business until the . 
ringing of the second breakfast bell. 

6. That it shall be the duty of the Principal to board at the Col- 
lege Hotel and take the supervision of the students there, by visi- 
ting their rooms, and seeing that they attend to their studies and 
behave orderly from the dismission of the school until its opening 
the next day.
